    Managed to get a reservation in the 2nd floor room on Valentine's Day. We did not know this existed since last year we were outside. Ambience was great. Staff was very welcoming and as always, the food was great.

    Wonderful and reasonably priced family style Italian food and service experience overall. Grilled calamari opener was nice change from the traditional fried version. Traditional pastas (linquini vongole) n tagliatelle was done perfectly al dente and paired nicely w/ a glass of pinot. Even better that it's located near home as well. Will be a top choice for good Italian family style dining.
